Abstract

A novel monolithically integrated master oscillator power amplifier with a distributed amplifier/grating output coupler is demonstrated which emits 370 mW in a single-frequency diffraction-limited beam without any form of active phase control. The distributed amplifier/grating output coupler results in a guided mode power that saturates along the direction of propagation, providing a uniform carrier density to preserve the flatness of the radiated phase front.
